Not watching a 20-min video. Need cliffs. Thank.

Edit: I asked ChatGPT to summarize in 2 paragraphs:

Thordis Elva and Tom Stranger courageously recount a traumatic incident that occurred when they were teenagers in Iceland. After a romantic night at a Christmas dance, an intoxicated Thordis became incapacitated, and Tom, though also impaired, realized only later that he proceeded to rape her. Thordis spent years burdened with shame and confusion, unable to recognize the violation, while Tom descended into denial and guilt—denying it was rape until eventually confronting the truth years later.

Nearly a decade later, Thordis reached out via letter seeking healing, and Tom responded with contrition, sparking an eight-year correspondence that culminated in a face‑to‑face meeting in Cape Town. Together, they transformed their pain into purpose—publishing a book, South of Forgiveness, and speaking publicly to challenge damaging myths about perpetrators, underscore how consent works, and illuminate restorative paths for survivors and offenders alike.
